Re: US - UK Dictionary
Not to be confused with the the gas station.
PS up there, it's pantyhose (from hosiery), also called stockings (actual stockings are far more rare but catching on here again).
Tights will be opaque, sometimes textured hose.
Then you'd have to add a whole section on the suspender/garter/braces conundrum I guess.
And include the part about braces in the US going on teeth (for Kaffy!).
Complicated!
